Outbuilding, Manse, Cranshaws Parish Church

The outbuilding at Manse, Cranshaws Parish Church dates from the late 18th century and may include some earlier materials, along with later additions and alterations. It is a symmetrical, two-storey, three-bay building designed in a plain classical style, featuring a gabled porch at the front and a two-storey, two-bay wing that projects at the rear, creating a near T-plan. There is also a single-storey addition beyond the wing. The construction consists of harl-pointed rubble sandstone with droved sandstone dressings, while the east side elevation is finished with whitewashed render and the rear elevation of the projecting wing is harled. The building has droved rubble quoins, droved long and short surrounds to openings, and projecting cills. Additionally, there is a single-storey, rectangular-plan outbuilding located to the southwest.

On the south (entrance) elevation, there is a single window in the gabled porch at the center, with a timber panelled door to the left and a single window aligned on the first floor. The outer left and right bays each have single windows on both floors. The west (side) elevation features the original block with a single window at ground level, offset to the left of center. The two-storey wing is recessed to the left and has a piended, single-storey conservatory offset to the left of center, with single windows in the flanking bays on both floors. There is also a single window centered in the single-storey wing to the outer left.

The windows predominantly have replacement four-pane glazing in timber sash and case frames. The roof is covered with grey slate and has raised stone skews, along with mostly replacement rainwater goods. There are apex stacks on the east made of coursed sandstone and on the west, which has been rebuilt in brick, with various circular cans.

The interior was not seen in 1997.

The outbuilding's east (entrance) elevation is made of harl-pointed rubble, featuring a boarded timber garage door in the outer left bay, a single window in the penultimate bay to the outer right, and flanking boarded timber doors. The north (side) elevation has a single window centered at ground level and a smaller single window aligned above. It also has a grey slate roof, raised stone skews, and replacement rainwater goods. The interior of the outbuilding was not seen in 1997.

Surrounding the property, there are rubble-coped walls that enclose a near rectangular garden at the front. A low coped wall encloses the site along the road, with wrought-iron gates providing access.
